Style Overview:Similar to the three styles of English Bitter Ales, the Scottish style of ales can be broken down into three categories: Light, Heavy and Export. Wort caramelization is achieved by a long boil, which also creates higher levels of unfermentable sugars, giving Scottish Ales a deep amber-to-brown color and a rich, malty palate. Hop characteristics are traditionally light, as to emphasis the malt character of the style. Try a Scottish Ale today!
